Tell me one more real story
Before the world fades to black
And we all wake up white plastic.

Tell me one more real story
Before my hair grows bleach blonde
And this becomes yet another Hollywood classic.

Are there any more real lives?
Or has it just become boy meets girl
We'll fall in love while the sun sets.

Are there anyΒ more real lives,
Or are we becoming scripted shadows
We'll waste time paying other people's debts.

Please don't let me fall asleep
Can't live that clichΓ© life
Want to write my own story

Please don't let me fall asleep
Can't lose control of myself
Want to dictate every detail

So tell me one more real story
Are there anymore real lives?
Please don't let me fall asleep
What is real?
